My son cycling without stablisers

Succeed by practicing failure

Saturday, 27th September 2014 · by Ian Pegg · in Personal & Professional Development

My son had the ability to ride his bike without stabilisers, but all he was lacking was the confidence. He needed to get over the fear of failure and the fear of falling off.

So I unbolted the training wheels and helped my son on to his bike. And then we just practiced falling off, falling over, and generally pratting around. We broke down the fear barrier by ridiculing it.

Over the course of the past 10 years I’ve dabbled with the philosophy of Buddhism — without much success I hasten to add. I began my adventure with ludicrously high expectations. Nirvana was only a few small steps away, or so I thought at the time…

Exploded whoopie cushion -- its okay to fail

You Are Going to Fail

Sunday, 13th April 2014 · by Ian Pegg · in Personal & Professional Development

It’s okay to be afraid. The turning point in my life came when I realised that I couldn’t escape fear. It’s hard-coded into each and every one of us.
